Multilingual environmental information is communicated via different media. These media can be newspapers, TV, internet, WAP, SMS, etc. Each of the media has a presentation mode which fits best. Thus, it turned out that for newspapers, pictograms which indicate good, normal, and bad conditions, a map with pictograms and/or a very short text are to be preferred. In contrast, the information prov...

This study explores the relationship between writing strategies and cohesion of writing, it compares how an ESL learner a native speaker English use to organize their written narratives. A text analysis demonstrates that used fewer connectives than English, produced less cohesive narrative. Next, taking qualitative approach, differences in products are related writers’ uses different processes....

Referential cohesion in African languages is a largely neglected area of study. Given the foregoing, this study, theoretically anchored on Descriptive Translation Studies and Halliday Hasan’s (1976) seminal model, explores referential translation English-Swahili healthcare texts with an endeavour to describe its use establish if there variation when are translated. Cohesion fundamental since it...

This paper studies which social networks maximize trust and welfare when agreements are implicitly enforced. We study a repeated trust game in which trading opportunities arise exogenously and a social network determines the information each player has. We show that cohesive communities, modeled as social networks of complete components, emerge as the optimal community design. Cohesive communit...

This paper studies dissection propagation subject to internal pressure in a residually-stressed two-layer arterial model. The artery is assumed to be infinitely long, and the resultant plane strain problem is solved using the extended finite element method. The arterial layers are modelled using the anisotropic hyperelastic Holzapfel-Gasser-Ogden model, and the tissue damage due to tear propaga...

These two case studies report how a cohesive short-stretch bandage was employed to promote venous leg ulcer healing. The two patients were obese and in addition had champagne bottle shaped legs. The cohesive short-stretch bandage was applied following the shape of the leg. By using a cohesive short-stretch bandage this provided bandage stability. This sustained compression resulted in oedema an...

We consider coherent and cohesive sheaves of O–modules over open sets Ω ⊂ Cn. We prove that coherent sheaves, and certain other sheaves derived from them, are cohesive; and conversely, certain sheaves derived from cohesive sheaves are coherent. An important tool in all this, also proved here, is that the sheaf of Banach space valued holomorphic germs is flat. To Linda Rothschild on her birthday

Connectives are cohesive devices that signal the relations between clauses and are critical to the construction of a coherent representation of a text’s meaning. We investigated young readers’ knowledge, processing, and comprehension of temporal, causal, and adversative connectives using off-line and on-line tasks. In a cloze task, 10-year-olds were more accurate than 8-year-olds on temporal an...

BACKGROUND In animal groups such as herds, schools, and flocks, a certain distance is maintained between adjacent individuals, allowing them to move as a cohesive unit. Proximate causations of the cohesive and coordinated movement under dynamic conditions, however, have been poorly understood. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We established a novel and simple behavioral assay using pairs of sma...

Dissociation energies have been determined for Al(n)(+) clusters (n=25-83) using a new experimental approach that takes into account the latent heat of melting. According to the arguments presented here, the cohesive energies of the solidlike clusters are made up of contributions from the dissociation energies of the liquidlike clusters and the latent heats for melting. The size-dependent varia...
